I Blog

I love the old Bill Murray movie "What About Bob". It's a light-hearted movie about the strange relationship between a trying-to-create-a-name-for-himself psychiatrist (Bob Newhart) and his eccentric child-like patient, Bill Murray. I don't know why but that movie instantly came to mind as I finally made the move to join the masses of "BLOGGERS" out there. I learned to crawl, took my baby steps (no pun intended) and now - - I blog. Like I have TIME to blog. {I should be doing my work as I write this.} But according to those under the age of 30 - if you don't blog - you're wasting your life and obviously have nothing meaningful to imprint upon our society. WHATEVER. (oops - did I just date myself there?) I mean what's the hype over blogging anyway? Isn't it simply an on-screen diary that you obviously don't care if anyone reads? Perhaps it's the name that bothers me. I hate that word "Blog" and "Bloggers". Sounds too much like Clog and Cloggers. Dumb name for a cool thing to try. Now... if I can only find this again after I hit "Publish Post".
